one good thing about him is that the lime peices are balls, not sockets which are harder to break. (Clap clap. clap) you have avoided the lime joint memes Nocturn, well played.
6:34 imagine that at the bottom of the sea. Considering the books tell us that it is completely dark down there (I'm assuming the toa can see underwater or something) then that would be the only thing you see of him. (Also, just some side info: Nocturn didn't mutate via the effects of the water, was always that ugly. He got banished to the prison down there that broke due to earthquake because he broke his home island in two when he was mad... yeah... he's that strong.
I always saw him as a blue ringed octopus cuz of the blue details and the yellowish green pieces (I know it's lime green) I'm pretty sure I'm incorrect though
He can easily be a squid or octopus. Many underwater cephalopods are bioluminescent and have striking bright pigmented flesh. Exclusivity is indeed a word Squids who can change color are capable of being grey-silverish, but it won't be any more reflective than their flesh normally is one con I'm surprised you didn't bring up is that his body is literally one liftarm wide. That's kinda silly.
Yes, I was surprised he didn't mention how narrow the body is. That's all I could think about while watching the video. Even so, I really like Nocturn.
TTV, I don't know if you will see this but I just wanted to say thanks for being such a great channel. I have been under an enormous amount of pressure recently with important exams (the hardest of which is tomorrow) and I have not been able to do many fun things because I have had to revise a lot. Therefore, I am always really happy when I go onto youtube and find that you have uploaded a new video. I always look forward to the news updates, podcasts, reviews, moc spotlights, etc. and the videos never disappoint. They have given me things to think about other than the exams. You guys are 'Karda Nui' of the BIONICLE community and you do a great job of holding the community together with not only the videos but also the message boards. I really appreciate how much effort you all put in and I just wanted to say thank you and that you are doing an amazing job. I hope you continue to exist as an essential part of the BIONICLE community for as long as you can.
A helpful tip for you when you do more sets with GitD parts. Use a blacklight. They glow much brighter and in this set you'd've seen that those ankle/hand socket parts are Trans-Neon-Blue.
Oh boy, i'm so looking forward to the mahri reviews since they're the ones i remember the most from my childhood and you're starting with the first and only toa mahri I got as a kid :D
A few years ago I actually found this set completely fully boxed and SEALED for 1 single GBP! Just 1 pound! At a car boot sale. But instead of preserving it and/or selling it I opened it and kept it.
I was lucky enough to find this at a Bricks and Minifigs store in near-perfect condition. Of the sets I currently own, this would definitely have to be one of my new all-time favorites.
Hmm, Nocturn being an octopus? Interesting observation, considering he has 6 limbs (and as we can see with LOSS and the Visorak, LEGO doesn't always make their eight-limbed creatures accurate to real life) and some similarities. I've never considered that, but I can see it in an abstract way (as much of BIONICLE 2007 was). Great review once again! I look forward to the Toa Mahri reviews! :)
Ah, Nocturn, I remember: my mom had to buy him the very first day because I was so afraid to miss this awesome titan. Thanks, Eljay, for every single review!
I got this set earlier this week and I totally dig it. I was surprised by how small he was for a Titan. I didn't know that he retailed for $15 until today. It is big enough to differentiate it from the Barraki which I like.
Funny thing: I used to think that he was a zyglak. I thought that all zyglak looked like him. That was until I saw a picture of the zyglak set. It is a combination model for Takadox Kalmah and Pridak. And yes there is also another combination model for the other 3 barraki. I would love it if you did review the zyglak though. They did have much to do with the story line.
Dakota Conn He has said in multiple Q&As he will not review a single combiner, with the exception of Inarkk & the Kardas Dragon since they were released on their own and did not need to be assembled from his set collection.
I sure don't want a squid walking towards me, lol. But anyway, silver is not at all out of place. Many fish have shiny colors. And I think giant squid actually are a silvery color, but apparently they lose the silver color after they die.
I've found that the floppiness in the legs is a result of the hips not being stable enough. Without the pistons in the legs, the figure would easily buckle at the knees or ankles.
Actually the ecxulisveness of the re-colo(u)rs diden't actually decrease, in my opinion, since this is the only set, except the Glatorian Legends green dude, that has metru leg pieces in lime, and the ONLY set to have lime inika legs.
It took days of begging my parents to get this and only just got him to this say he's still sat on my shelf in a plastic case and I haven't moved it since 2007 all the way to the current day
noctorn was lego online tho He was on display at Lego store but when i asked they told me he is only available thru lego shop online, didn't know he was walmart exlcusive
Perhaps I'm getting confused, but doesn't Nocturn also share the brittle-green flaw with Hahli Mahri, Ehlek, and every character past 2007 that had green limbs/parts?
When you've done all the recent and recap reviews can you review all the non cannon or combo sets for each year because I don't know much about bionicle past the Walmart shelf
pridak is a shark kalmah is a squid takadox is a mantis ehlek is an electric eel carapar is a crab mantax is a mantaray nocturn is that fish who has a lamp on his head
It could be that the reason you haven't seen any silver squid running around is because squid don't run... :P gotta joke around, good review Eljay! Nocturn's always been a bit of an an oddball set. - Jowm
"He was banished from his island for breaking something."
"What did he break?"
"The island."
Oooohhh!! ohhhh!! We got a Island buster here!!! Watch out Goku!!
XD
Lol takadox and mantax talking in the prisoners of the pit book :)
Ding ding ding!
General Grievous1138 what did nocturne do?
one good thing about him is that the lime peices are balls, not sockets which are harder to break. (Clap clap. clap) you have avoided the lime joint memes Nocturn, well played.
Gus Johnson doesn’t stop the axles on his feet snapping like toothpicks though :T
Because he has balls of steel duh
Its not just the lime sockets its the 2007 smooth sockets in general
@@IcyDUD3 it was 2008 onwards that had the smooth socket problem. 2007 just had weak lime pieces
"Little plastic buddies that like to sing"
Absolute brilliance... thank you for making that reference Eljay.
there was a tory based reason why he is missing a tentacle.. it was lost in a fight and re replaced it with a launcher
6:34 imagine that at the bottom of the sea. Considering the books tell us that it is completely dark down there (I'm assuming the toa can see underwater or something) then that would be the only thing you see of him. (Also, just some side info: Nocturn didn't mutate via the effects of the water, was always that ugly. He got banished to the prison down there that broke due to earthquake because he broke his home island in two when he was mad... yeah... he's that strong.
But the pit water is mutagenic how’d he not?
That glow would be absolutely terrifying
@@ethantaillefer-meyn9772 Supposedly he was just immune to it for some reason.
I always believed Nocturn was a Lobster 😂😂
I always saw him as a blue ringed octopus cuz of the blue details and the yellowish green pieces (I know it's lime green) I'm pretty sure I'm incorrect though
Kind of surprised Eljay had so many nice things to say about this set.

U just blew my mind
Cuttlefish.

I do hope they make a 2016 version of prilekaparkatax.
Brachydios Brando god damn has it really been 5 years
That’s a long name
lol I totally expected Eljay to pan Nocturn. On an unrelated note...
WHEN ARE WE GETTING PART 1 OF VNOG WITH MESO?!!!?!!?!?!!?!!!
John Clark Wasn't he planning to do the Metru Nui online fan-game next? Or was that idea scrapped?
Andy Scrapped I think, there was no guide.
Andy Not scrapped, merely delayed. VNOG will be the next playthrough and MeNOG will come after that. :D
+The TTV Channel that was random when you named that bionicle a different name and then you quieted
Nocturn and Pridak are the only Baraki I ever owned... I have to change that.
Your skits get better as the reviews keep being made, Eljay.
A helpful tip for you when you do more sets with GitD parts. Use a blacklight. They glow much brighter and in this set you'd've seen that those ankle/hand socket parts are Trans-Neon-Blue.
Oh boy, i'm so looking forward to the mahri reviews since they're the ones i remember the most from my childhood and you're starting with the first and only toa mahri I got as a kid :D
"Squid-launcher, bane of many's existence." Pretty much :P
0:24 when your parents say it's school in The weekend
A few years ago I actually found this set completely fully boxed and SEALED for 1 single GBP! Just 1 pound! At a car boot sale.
But instead of preserving it and/or selling it I opened it and kept it.
His joints broke on me a year after having him. He was my favourite. I just sacrificed some of my green and blue bionicles to replace these parts.
When the screen went blurred for the glow in the dark pieces, it looked like to me he was underwater.
I was lucky enough to find this at a Bricks and Minifigs store in near-perfect condition. Of the sets I currently own, this would definitely have to be one of my new all-time favorites.
“His name shall be praclagshs”
Subtitles: like a dr. park contacts
10:00 well, I've seen light gray squids...
Yeah do the time stamp AFTER the question will ya
0:23 Did that take many tries?
My favorite '07 titan is either Hydraxon or Nocturn.
Mine was a tie of Gadunka, or Maxilos & Spinax
+Bwan Nocturn isn't a Titan. Only Hydraxon, Gadunka, Maxilos and Spinax are.
Alberto Silva Nocturn is a titan.
Everyone be forgetting karzannhi
The tentacle's tip can be placed into the his running down the side to achieve a lasso effect for snagging.
"That's Nocturn in the dark"... ha... nocturnal... dark... ha.
Hmm, Nocturn being an octopus? Interesting observation, considering he has 6 limbs (and as we can see with LOSS and the Visorak, LEGO doesn't always make their eight-limbed creatures accurate to real life) and some similarities. I've never considered that, but I can see it in an abstract way (as much of BIONICLE 2007 was).
Great review once again! I look forward to the Toa Mahri reviews! :)
Who is LOSS
The coloring on most of the 2007 sets was fantastic.
This set is awesome. I don't have it myself but I did order several parts from it for a moc I am making. I want to get it someday.
Ah, Nocturn, I remember: my mom had to buy him the very first day because I was so afraid to miss this awesome titan. Thanks, Eljay, for every single review!
0:13 the captions tho
I got this set earlier this week and I totally dig it. I was surprised by how small he was for a Titan. I didn't know that he retailed for $15 until today. It is big enough to differentiate it from the Barraki which I like.
Gadunka was my favorite titan of 07.
He could be an electric eel or anglerfish
Ahhhh...the memories. I got two of these bad boys thanks to '07 Christmas. Those were glorious times.
probably one of my all time favorite titan sets!!
his name is Nocturn, not, as the subtitles once said, Right Like a Doc Support Attacks.
And what kind of doctor would support something like that?
Funny thing: I used to think that he was a zyglak. I thought that all zyglak looked like him. That was until I saw a picture of the zyglak set. It is a combination model for Takadox Kalmah and Pridak. And yes there is also another combination model for the other 3 barraki.

"I haven't seen any silver squid running around" - well duh... because they swim
I sure don't want a squid walking towards me, lol. But anyway, silver is not at all out of place. Many fish have shiny colors. And I think giant squid actually are a silvery color, but apparently they lose the silver color after they die.
the joke was more about squids not being able to run because they can't get up on land without suffocatin. Intresting fact though.
I've found that the floppiness in the legs is a result of the hips not being stable enough. Without the pistons in the legs, the figure would easily buckle at the knees or ankles.
Actually the ecxulisveness of the re-colo(u)rs diden't actually decrease, in my opinion, since this is the only set, except the Glatorian Legends green dude, that has metru leg pieces in lime, and the ONLY set to have lime inika legs.
"Hello, there."
"Toa Kenobi You are a bold one."
My first '07 titan was Maxilos/Spinax. My first titan was Nidhiki though.
one of the best sets for 2007
It took days of begging my parents to get this and only just got him to this say he's still sat on my shelf in a plastic case and I haven't moved it since 2007 all the way to the current day
damn.
I wish I had bought sets from the baroque wave. I had ehlek, but I wish I had gotten more.
noctorn was lego online tho
He was on display at Lego store but when i asked they told me he is only available thru lego shop online, didn't know he was walmart exlcusive
My first 2007 titan was Maxilos and Spinax
you can fix the squid luncher by replacing it with the robot invincibility(bionicle knock off) one which is made out of solid plastic
Something that sort of bugs me is when you look at the torso. They could have easily added 1 more takadox armor on the chest.
I don't remember having this set, but I have all his unique pieces and recolors
Perhaps I'm getting confused, but doesn't Nocturn also share the brittle-green flaw with Hahli Mahri, Ehlek, and every character past 2007 that had green limbs/parts?
I got really lucky and found this plus brutaka and axon last Sunday for only £17 altogether
I got this dude when i went to lego land for the first time back in 2007 or 8 or maybe it was a bit later than that
This and hydarxon are the only bionicle sets I have plus my 2001 shit
But they are very cool looking fighting and hydraxon killing nocturn
...the 2007 titans are all so good they should all be on your bionicle titan consideration list...
When you've done all the recent and recap reviews can you review all the non cannon or combo sets for each year because I don't know much about bionicle past the Walmart shelf
And he did
@@jonaswest6993 I know lmao. It’s crazy what he’s reviewed and how much I’ve learned about bionicle since I commented that 6 years ago
0:24 What exactly did you say?
Best intro joke ever
pridak is a shark
kalmah is a squid
takadox is a mantis
ehlek is an electric eel
carapar is a crab
mantax is a mantaray
nocturn is that fish who has a lamp on his head
You mean an anglerfish?
Andrew Homer yes! thanks
And what about Gadunka?
Andrew Homer i dont know,he is not a barraki
Yeah, Gadunka is in a league of his own.
I don't know how, but I got this set as a kid. I live in The Netherlands, no Wallmart over here :o
My gran got this at a charity shop for £1 minus the tentacle or launcher but besides that it was amazing
It could be that the reason you haven't seen any silver squid running around is because squid don't run... :P gotta joke around, good review Eljay! Nocturn's always been a bit of an an oddball set.
- Jowm
what's the song in the start with prilakadoxaparcoltax?
I used to have Nocturn and Gadunka... I miss them...
+Brock Woods You can buy them in internet, but these sets, specialy new, are expensive.
Nocturn is my most favourite character I need him
Nocturn is my favorite set from '07, with Hydraxon being second. I'd say Nocturn is in my top five favorites just from nostalgia.
10/10 set!!!! just amazing set! perfect design
In that skit sounded like his name shall be "Prillekdocksupportcaltax".
Where are you buy this bionicle?)
I bought mine on ebay (maybe that helps)
To quote some other guy on another review of this set, "General Kanohi!"
Is karzahni and the two matoran the set for next week?
holy shit the squid launcher, I have so many bad memories of trying to get that pos to work
he is in my top 5/3 titan sets or even top 2 or maybe this is my favorite??? idk i love brutaka as well ok i have no idea
the way he says smidge at the end
The squid launchers work well if new, they just got really worn with 8 years of time.
Hahaha, that intro was really good.
I used to make a ton of four-armed MOC when I was young.
One thing you forgot to mention is the very high 19 points of articulation.
great set
What's the music in the skit?
i got nocturn and hydraxon on the same day....best choice of my life
You need some blacklights; all the translucent and 'glow in the dark' pieces will ILLUMINATE, and it'll capture well on camera.
AH, TOA MATORO! You are a bold one…
I guess he's supposed to be a Cuttlefish. I don't know.
That intro xD But gosh, now I wish I got him back in the years.
That intro, I'm dying xD
These videos make me wish I could go back in time and be a kid again. :(
hey lj is it rly a walmark exclusive ?
i got one and i life in germany
CherryPlay in the us
This was the only "Exclusive" titan that I had at the time.
I can't wait for the Lesovikk review :D
Damn, didn't expect to love those weird villains.
I think if nocturne is to represent anything he’s the embodiment of all those horrific bioluminescent monstrosities found in the abyss
Oooh he glows!!!
I always trust your reviews, Eljay
Also, his colorscheme has to be one of the best in bionicle.
The funniest beginning
No mention of the lime pieces being a con?
It's mostly the joints that are lime that break.
Hopefully gonna pick this guy up soon.
